Creating a Linkage Map

Post by michaljbonino »

I've been tasked with creating some kind of hyperlinked map that shows all links in TM1. In other words, our users basically would like to see something aking to "Trace Calculations" in some kind of web document. We have an enhancement request open with IBM to incorporate "Trace Calculations" in the Websheet environment but have no schedule. Until that is delivered, we need another method for determining the precedents and antecedents of a given intersection. Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Thanks.

It seems than Ben Hill has been able to do it for Keystone (although not 100% sure whether for the web or thick client) with basically a 1 man development team, so I guess it would be possible for TM1 given some development effort behind it but you would need a very good TM1 API and web developer to do it. There are a few around but they definatelly don't grow on trees.

Hi, Michael.

I have a script, generating a csv file like this (for Planning Sample model) from any TM1 model. It can be made to do html as well, no big problem. It can even draw pictures like here.
Will that suite you? It's not that stable yet in my opinion, so i'm not putting it out widely.

I think we need something pretty exhaustive that shows a complete linkage report. Thanks.
